Chrysler Town & Country: generations, engines and trims
The Chrysler Town & Country is a large family MPV produced from 1990 to 2016. In Lithuania, it's often imported from the USA, while in Europe, similar models were offered as the Chrysler Voyager and Grand Voyager. We'll look at the generations, engines, trims, and what to check when buying.
Town & Country in brief
The Town & Country was Chrysler's top-tier MPV, boasting more luxurious interiors and richer equipment than other models. It's designed for families needing plenty of space and comfort.
The car was produced in several generations, with the 2001–2007 and 2008–2016 models most commonly found in Lithuania. It's popular in the used market for its spacious interior and extensive equipment.
Which generation to choose
Earlier generations (1990–2000) are simpler and cheaper, but they are quite old. They require more attention due to wear and tear and corrosion.
The 2001–2007 generation (from 2005) is popular for its Stow 'n Go seating system, while the 2008–2016 generation received a refreshed look, better equipment, and from 2011, a modern 3.6-litre V6 engine. If your budget allows, go for the latest generation.
Engines and transmissions
Common engines include the 3.3-litre, 3.8-litre, and 4.0-litre V6s, and from 2011, the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, producing around 280 hp. The car is front-wheel drive and comes with an automatic transmission.
The newer 3.6-litre engine and six-speed gearbox are more economical and smoother than earlier versions. Diesel Voyager models were offered in Europe, but the US Town & Country has no diesel option.
What to check when buying a used Town & Country
First off — check the accident history via the VIN, as US-import cars often have repair work done. Ensure the body panels are flush and the paint is consistent.
Test the electrically operated sliding doors and tailgate — their mechanisms can sometimes fail. Check the gearbox (grinding or clunks are bad signs), cooling system, and oil leaks.
When buying a US car, consult with a service about parts availability. The body and wheels might differ from European specs, so check if the car can be registered.
